Episode: Oxford research finds that online abuse makes some women reluctant to contemplate public life
Description: Academic and researcher Alexandra Pavliuc from the Oxford Internet Institute is one of a team that took a deep dive into a sea of data to look at how prominent female politicians were abused online during a two month period. The findings of the report, which is titled 'Malign Creativity', are important because they point to the impact of online toxicity on women and their willingness to entertain public life.
